Default Wipers just stopped working....

....and it's p*****g down! They were on intermittent wipe on the way to work and then stopped altogether. Not had chance to have a look yet, but there was no warning - they worked fine until they didn't!

Maybe you disturbed the 25amp fuse (No. 10 on fuse carrier 1) when replacing the other fuse? (presumably Fuse No.3 on fuse carrier 5? - make up mirror/lock release for boot lid/courtesy lights/interior monitor, cent locking switch/memory for morror and seat positions).

Will be the wiper motor as they have a habit of failing you can rebuild them if you are that way inclined or pay TPS instead!!

James replaced the one in your car a while back, Jim, the motors came from A8 Parts. Buy new from TPS, especially if you're keeping it.

I had to replace the one in my 2.8 A8, but it at least gave me some warning and juddered a bit. This one just stopped. So did James replace it with a used motor from A8 Parts? Seems strange that it failed so quickly? Do I need a part number for a motor from TPS?

My PF would do it now and again... Does it work on full speed? Mine would come back to life after a vigorous spraying with WD40 (what doesn't?)

Part number is 4D2 955 113 B for the motor on its own. Looks like James bought the motor from us 2 years ago, but even so please give us a call and we can work out a deal on a replacement for you if you decide not to buy brand new.

seems to me a bit coincidental with the other problems which would tend to suggest fuse problem other than motor failure as suddenly as that

Just went out to see if it was a fuse, so I could call TPS if I needed a motor....

......and they're working fine!

No hesitation or juddering, just working as usual.
